Girls seem to rule as far as comedies go this season.<\/p>\n
While “2 Broke Girls” and “New Girl” have been strong in their first two weeks, CBS’ new, guy-centric “How to be a Gentleman” looks to have underwhelmed in its premiere Thursday.<\/p>\n
Behind an episode of “The Big Bang Theory,” which scored a 9.3 overnight metered market (household) rating according to TV Media Insights, “Gentleman” only mustered a 5.5. Even if “How to Be a Gentleman” skews unexpectedly well in adults 18-49, it seems a near certainty that its demo retention out of “Big Bang” will be weak.<\/p>\n
Its overnight rating was also well below that of “$#*! My Dad Says,” which opened to a 6.7 last year.<\/p>\n
(Update:<\/b> “Big Bang Theory” posted a very healthy 4.8 adults 18-49 rating with 14.5 million, while “How to be a Gentleman” flopped at a 2.7 and 9.0 million. That is a massive erosion from a half-hour sitcom lead-in)<\/p>\n
Over on ABC, “Charlie’s Angels” fell steeply to a 4.6 in the overnights, forecasting an adults 18-49 demo below 2.0. Already, it looks like the “Angels” reboot can be written off as a flop.<\/p>\n
(Update<\/b>: “Angels” could only muster a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating with 7.2 million viewers. That should be the nail in the coffin on a second season, possibly even on a back-nine order)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
